Diet high in meat, fat and refined grains linked to risk for colon cancer recurrence, death
Patients treated for colon cancer who had a diet high in meat, refined grains, fat and desserts had an increased risk of cancer recurrence and death compared with patients who had a diet high in fruits and vegetables, poultry and fish. view more (2007-08-15)
Inside job: new radioactive agents for colon cancer work inside cells
Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a potentially novel way to fight colorectal cancer using tiny molecules to deliver potent barrages of radiation inside cancer cells, unlike current treatments that bind to the surface of cells and attack from the outside and cause unwanted side effects. view more (2007-10-10)
Estrogen study provides new impetus for development of colon cancer drugs
The female hormone estrogen may hold important clues for scientists working on new therapies for colon cancer, a study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers suggests. view more (2006-12-19)
Minority patients discouraged from cancer screening by negative messages
New behavioral science research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, found that constantly emphasizing the negative consequences of a lack of cancer screening among minorities can actually make them less likely to go for screening. view more (2008-11-06)
Colon cancer survival linked to number of lymph nodes examined
An analysis of 17 studies from nine countries has found that the more lymph nodes that are removed and examined during surgical treatment of colon cancer, the better the outcome appears to be for patients. view more (2007-03-21)
What are the risk factors of sporadic colorectal cancer?
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in China. view more (2009-06-12)
Potential New Therapeutic Molecular Target to Fight Cancer
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center have identified the enzyme sphingosine kinase 2 as a possible new therapeutic target to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy for colon and breast cancer. view more (2007-11-02)
BREAST CANCER DOES NOT INCREASE RISK OF COLORECTAL CANCER
Women with a history of breast cancer are not at an increased risk of colorectal cancer, conclude authors of a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. A history of breast cancer has been reported as a risk factor for colorectal cancer in women. However, in view of the ambiguous nature of existing evidence and the growing interest in... view more...

A new way to treat colon cancer?
Researchers at University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute have discovered a new target for possible future colon cancer treatments - a molecule that is implicated in 85 percent of colon cancer cases. view more (2006-10-10)
New method proposed for determining which patients should get treatment for colorectal cancer
A new study being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago (Abstract #4020), may change treatment practice in about 25 percent of patients with colon cancer and is the basis for proposed changes to the way colorectal cancers will be staged. view more (2008-05-19)
What's the role of beta-catenin in colorectal cancers?
Beta-catenin, a central molecule of the Wnt-signaling pathway was previously known to involve in the tumorigenesis of various gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric cancer and colon cancer. view more (2008-11-03)
A gene for metastasis
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the Western world. The tumor starts off as a polyp but then turns into an invasive and violent cancer, which often spreads to the liver. view more (2007-08-28)
Researchers make discovery in colon cancer prevention
A new study finds that individuals who have low expression of the "Celebrex gene," 15-PGDH, are actually resistant to Celebrex treatment when used to prevent colon cancer. view more (2009-05-19)
Colon cancer a disease of hormone deficiency, Jefferson team finds
Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found new evidence suggesting that colon cancer is actually a disease of missing hormones that could potentially be treated by hormone replacement therapy. view more (2007-08-01)
New Evidence Linking High-fibre Diet With Reduced Risk Of Colon Cancer (pp 1487, 1491, 1496)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that a high-fibre diet contributes to a substantial lowering in the risk of colon cancer. This has previously been a controversial area of research, as some recent studies have suggested no association between increased fibre intake and a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Ulrike... view more... (2003-04-30)
Genetic Link Uncovered in Disparate Colon Cancer Death
A new study reveals the first-ever genetic link to the reason African-Americans are at increased risk of dying from colon cancer. view more (2009-04-01)
Colon cancer risk in US traced to common ancester
A married couple who sailed from England to America around 1630 may be the ancestors of hundreds of people alive today who are at risk for a hereditary form of colon cancer. view more (2008-01-02)
Smokers might benefit from earlier colon cancer screening
New evidence suggests screening for colorectal cancer, which is now recommended to begin at age 50 for most people, should start five to 10 years earlier for individuals with a significant lifetime exposure to tobacco smoke, a University of Rochester Medical Center study said. view more (2008-02-14)
Researchers at IRB Barcelona discover one of the mechanisms that prevents the spread of colon cancer
The first step in the development of colon cancer is the formation of benign tumours, called adenomas, in the intestine. Over time, these tumours may progress to produce colon cancer if they undergo a series of mutations and genetic alterations. view more (2007-10-01)
A spicy solution for colon cancer?
In the last few years, that tactic has proved productive for researchers investigating turmeric, a curry spice used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine. view more (2006-09-20)
